Title
Does Artificial Intelligence Make Human Creativity Obsolete?
Abstract
This paper raises the question of whether humans continue to have good reason to strive for creativity in light of the ever-increasing productive capacities of contemporary artificial intelligence (AI). I consider what philosophers and non-philosophers have said about the value of creativity and compare these accounts to the capabilities of contemporary AI. The fact that AI appears capable of generating products with the same kinds of value for which human creativity has long been prized raises a dilemma regarding how we ought to live our lives in the age of AI. I consider four possible responses to this dilemma and argue that future philosophical work on the nature of creativity is needed to settle the matter.
